New Delhi: To fortify Delhi’s security apparatus ahead of Republic Day, police commissioner Satish Golchha chaired a high-level interstate coordination meeting on Thursday. The meeting brought together brass from 11 states and union territories, including Haryana, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, and Jammu & Kashmir, alongside central intelligence agencies.The gathering signalled a shift towards a “borderless” policing strategy, essential for securing the capital against modern threats. Beyond traditional anti-terror measures like the verification of suspicious elements and intensified border checking, the meeting focused on the invisible threats of the digital age. Officials discussed a strategy to monitor social media for radicalisation and misinformation.
Golcha also emphasised the need for a joint action plan to dismantle international gangs that influence “juveniles in conflict with law” to commit crimes. A multi-layered security plan, which will be in place for R-Day, includes strict protocols for no-fly zones. Synchronised traffic restrictions will also be in place. tnn
